Chapter4: Using the EWI4000s as a MIDI Controller
Setting of the EWI4000s
The EWI4000s is set so that it transfers the MIDI signal with its initial setting. You can
control an external MIDI sound module only by connecting a MIDI cable to it.
Transmitted Information from the EWI4000s MIDI OUT
• Breath strength (and weakness) is converted to MIDI Control Change No. 07 (Vol-
ume). If the external sound module responds to MIDI volume message, you can
control the output volume of the sound module with your breath strength. Depend-
ing on the sound module, your breath strength can change not only the output
volume but also the sound character. For example, if you set the cut-off frequency
of the sound module with MIDI Control Change No. 7 (Volume), your breath
strength can change the sound character by changing the cut-off frequency of the
sound. Refer to the operator’s manual of the sound module for proper set up.
• The Bend Plate information is converted to MIDI Pitch Bend information. If the
external sound module responds to this information (Pitch Bend is a Registered
Parameter), you can control Pitch Bend of the sound module with the Bend Plate
of the EWI4000s. Also, the vibrato information is converted to MIDI Pitch Bend
information. If the external sound module accepts it, you can play vibrato on the
sound module.
• The Glide information is converted to MIDI Control Change No. 65 (Portamento)
and No. 05 (Portamento Time). If the external sound module accepts them, you
can control the sound module’s Portamento with the Glide of the EWI4000s.
Program Change
You can change the sound program of an external sound module by using MIDI Program
Change information from the EWI4000s. The operation of Program Change is the same
as “Selecting the internal Sounds (Program)” on page 20. When the Program of the
EWI4000s is changed, the MIDI Program Change of the same number is transmitted.
